first sentence is the context and if that's the case

=no methane, therefore no life on planet 253

if you can see, the last sentence is there to support

why no methane means no life by talking about microbes

(so it's a premise) but left a gap between microbes and no life (what we had to find out)

or you could just connect the dots without caring too much about what the conclusion is

/methane ->/ life

/methane -> /microbes

and if you spot the gap between no life on planet 253 and the microbes

that's the part you have to assume

/microbes->/life

so my thinking process goes something like this

ok it's talking about no life on planet 253 and all of a sudden talking about microbes thats nothing to do with planet 253, so in the answer choice i want to see something between no life in planet 253 and microbes, then i go thru the ACs to see what talks about the missing part (D)

sorry for the lousy explanation i was trying to make it as simple as possible but hope it helps!

how to rebound & close the BR gap

Hi guys im pretty sure these kind of questions were asked many many times.

but somehow i had to let it out too.

i started the journey about a year ago but when i started i was just browsing and getting to know what lsat was

since i have a fulltime job i'd just drill here and there (didnt know 7sage back then) and started committing this july

July-Aug mainly finishing CC and drilling, Aug-Sep PTing i took about 5PTs

and i took sept test, score was lower than i expected but nothing really surprising since i bombed LG the one that im good at.

I was just whining about my score to my bf and how i felt 2months of intense studying might have been ,timewise, not enough,

in response, i heard something shocking from him saying that

'its just a standardized test the longer you studying does not mean you will get better (somepart i agree), 2-3 months of studying should get you where your maximum potential would be at (i disagree)'

as i was studying i started to learn and see the patterns, flaws and gaps i could anticipate the answers before i read AC. A clear sign that much room to improve.

well i know his opinion shouldnt matter since it's coming from someone hasnt done LSAT

(he is super smart ;p and i guess most of his lawyer friends didn't take very long to get a good lsat score so he thinks it's easy)

but its somehow very discouraging coming from someone very close to me. Also making me think i might not be meant for this path.

anyhow long story short,

my problem is this emotional rollercoaster is tackling me to focus, i registered for NOV so i have no time to waste

please help me to get out of this deep self pity hole.

and the other tips im asking is my reading is very slow

my TImed pt and BR score gap is huge sometimes by 20 points mostly because i cant finish in time.

i know reading speed boosts with time and practice

RC i can never get to the last psg but the psgs i read id get -0~-2

thanks for reading my lame ranting

i usually deal with it by myself but this time i needed someone or somewhere to talk to

pleas share any thoughts and advice!
